West Coast Chocolate Festival

West Coast Chocolate Festival

Gone are the days when chocolate was considered a junk food full of empty calories. Now it’s lauded for its innumerable health benefits — including an ability to help stave off strokes, according to recent reports by the American Academy of Neurology. That’s one great reason to visit the West Coast Chocolate Festival, taking place October 15 to November 10 at various venues in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. With everything from chocolate high tea, gala tastings and romantic weekenders to chocolate factory tours, chocolate yoga and meditation, you’ll find loads of appetizing events, including plenty of kid-friendly ones, too.
